I didn't know that. So I'm wondering why he hasn't done anything
for 3 months.

Also note that /usr/share/doc/mosh/README.md.gz says

A note on compiler flags: Mosh is security-sensitive code. When making
automated builds for a binary package, we recommend passing the option
`--enable-compile-warnings=error` to `./configure`. On GNU/Linux with
`g++` or `clang++`, the package should compile cleanly with
`-Werror`. Please report a bug if it doesn't.

I assume that this is the real reason for the current failure. But
the -Wdeprecated-declarations warning (which is thus changed into
an error) isn't related to security.

BTW, warnings may also come from macros provided by libraries, if any.
